Paris Economic Development Corp.

Business retention and expansion remains one of the most important things we do.

Yesterday, the PEDC joined Lamar County Commissioners, and members of the Paris City Council for a tour of Huhtamaki’s recently completed expansion.

This was more than a construction project - it was a business retention and expansion project, helping ensure Huhtamaki continued investing and growing right here in Paris rather than somewhere else. The project included an approximately $85 million investment and a commitment to create 80 new jobs.

It’s always rewarding to see those commitments turn into results. Since the project was announced, Huhtamaki’s Paris workforce has grown from approximately 190 employees to 265 employees, and hiring continues.

Thank you to the Huhtamaki team for hosting the tour and for your continued investment in Paris and Lamar County. We’re proud to support the companies that have chosen to call our community home.
